A better option would be to switch to 64 bit and then stop worrying about the CPUTYPE :-) Those AMD processors work very nicely in 64 bit mode. It has to be said that actually on a modern processor I will doubt you will notice much (if any) difference tweaking the CPU type. When I first came to FreeBSD I used to obessively tweak optimisation settings all over the place. These days I leave more or less everything at the defalts, and life is perfectly happy... certainly given the CPU you ar switching to, I would just not bother setting CPUTYPE. try it "as-is", and if i is too slow then start looking for optimisations. -pete. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
